A lot of Gears 2 video has been running about these days, usually fan shot by camcorder or whatever they can do for a TV Tuner. MS and Epic have made life a bit easier though by dropping off a 2 minute demonstration of new gameplay mechanics in Gears of War 2. Honestly by the video I'd have to say it lights up my hope in the franchise for enjoyability since I wasn't entirely sold on revisiting the sequel even with giant armies to grind into mush. With more tactical shooting abilities though I think I'm going to be quite a happy gamer.
Check out the clip and see how insane the guys at Epic have gone with this new title.
Gears of War 2 seems to be on steady development and will arrive on the Xbox 360 this November, hopefully the game stays on track with all these changes and really ups the ante in the marketplace since what they've got right now is quite impressive. The changes in the model behavior from 1-2 are like night and day and it really shows the commitment from Epic to do something with this franchise they have on their hands.
It does look a lot better than the first one. I see many improvements. To me, the online wasn't that good. But with these new gameplay mechanics, I think it is a lot more playable for me.
